Kaya Holdings, Inc. “The Sacred Mushroom™” Psilocybin Treatment Center Begins Accepting Appointments

 

Ft. Lauderdale, FL., June 04, 2024:  Kaya Holdings, Inc., ("KAYS" or the "Company") (OTCQB:KAYS) announced today that its majority owned subsidiary, Fifth Dimension Therapeutics, Inc. has begun accepting appointments at its The Sacred Mushroom™ (“TSM”) Psilocybin Treatment center in Portland, Oregon.

The Sacred Mushroom™ has been purposely designed to provide all TSM guests with the opportunity to fully experience the transformative potential of the psychedelic journey.

Individuals journeying at TSM can customize their experience through TSM’s proprietary “Synergy by Design”, offering tailored sights, sounds, and smells. The facility also offers journey-enhancing activities such as art expression, body, movement, and journaling.

Groups journeying at TSM are offered the entire facility to enhance group and individual experiences. The Sacred Mushroom™ has groups for a wide range of mental health disorders including PTSD, anxiety, trauma, and addictions. The facility also offers group opportunities for corporate events and private groups for those seeking to explore psychedelics as a mind-expanding journey.

“The TSM facility has been designed with great respect for the power of psilocybin mushrooms”, states KAYS CEO Craig Frank. “The opportunity these mushrooms provide for deeper understandings, personal transformation, greater inner peace, relief from mental disorder, and sheer wonderment, demand we provide all guests with the facility that draws out and enhances these incredible moments. We are extraordinarily proud of The Sacred Mushroom™, the facility, the journey opportunities, and the follow-up we provide”.

Recent university medical studies have shown psilocybin treatments to be a potentially effective treatment path for people suffering from trauma, PTSD, depression, and other hard to treat mental health conditions. According to Precedence Research, the U.S. behavioral health market was more than $83 billion in 2022 and is expected to exceed $136 billion by 2032.

“Completion of the first “The Sacred Mushroom™” Psilocybin Treatment Facility is an important milestone for KAYS”, said David Jones, KAYS Senior Advisor for Business Development and Financial Operations. “Wall Street has taken notice of the need for Psychedelic Medicine as an alternative approach for treating mental health disorders, and KAYS intends to secure its place in the value chain through the opening its Psychedelic Treatment Centers.”
